Cell Sorting daring Pattern Formation in Dictyostelium [PDF]
, 1981 Formation of the prestalk-prespore pattern in Dictyostelium was investigated in slugs and submerged clumps of cells. Prestalk and prespore cells were identified by staining with vital dyes, which are shown to be stable cell markers.

The contractile proteins of dictyostelium discoideum [PDF]
Journal of Supramolecular Structure, 1974 AbstractWe have purified actin and my osin‐like proteins from amoebae of Dictyostelium discoideum. These proteins are very similar in their physical and enzymatic properties to muscle actin and myosin. Most importantly, they form thin and thick filaments, respectively, and Dictyostelium actin activates Dictyostelium myosin ATPase activity.

The Cell Density Factor CMF Regulates the Chemoattractant Receptor cAR1 in Dictyostelium [PDF]
, 1996 Starving Dictyostelium cells aggregate by chemotaxis to cAMP when a secreted protein called conditioned medium factor (CMF) reaches a threshold concentration.

Chemical compounds from Dictyostelium discoideum repel a plant-parasitic nematode and can protect roots. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Slime mold species in the genus Dictyostelium are considered to have a close relationship with non-parasitic nematodes; they are sympatric in soils and can exhibit interspecific competition for food. We investigated whether this relationship extends to a

mBio, 2023 Human macrophages and the eukaryotic microbe Dictyostelium discoideum ingest bacteria by phagocytosis, and then kill the ingested bacteria. Some pathogenic bacteria secrete linear chains of phosphate residues (polyphosphate; polyP), and the polyP ...

Profilin isoforms in Dictyostelium discoideum
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research, 2007 Eukaryotic cells contain a large number of actin binding proteins of different functions, locations and concentrations. They bind either to monomeric actin (G-actin) or to actin filaments (F-actin) and thus regulate the dynamic rearrangement of the actin cytoskeleton.

Cooperation and conflict in the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum.
International Journal of Developmental Biology, 2019 The social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum has provided considerable insight into the evolution of cooperation and conflict. Under starvation, D. discoideum amoebas cooperate to form a fruiting body comprised of hardy spores atop a stalk.

Inference of the drivers of collective movement in two cell types: Dictyostelium and melanoma [PDF]
, 2016 Collective cell movement is a key component of many important biological processes, including wound healing, the immune response and the spread of cancers.
